Thankful

I just want to say that a lot of not so good things have happened in my life. As I have said in earlier articles life is what you make it. As I read articles from others here on gather I can't help but be thankful for all I have and all I have gone through. It has made me a stronger and more faithfilled person.

The hardest thing so far in my life has been losing my husband to suicide. I have a much closer relationship with God now. I think it was one of my lessons to learn from this tragedy.

When I read others stories I realize there are a lot of people out there that have made it through very very rough times. I know God does not give us more than we can handle and I say to all of you out there in gatherland...........It will get better and my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I'm sorry to hear about your husband. I've lost a friend to suicide as well and it's not the easiest thing to deal with. I'm glad something positive came out of it, though. This is a very inspirational article. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Danielle thank you so much for sharing and I can only imagine how difficult it must have been losing your husband to suicide and I hope your children have only fond memories of their father. I think if we start off every day being thankful for the things we do have the day can only start off on a great note! Have a great Tuesday!

What a heartbreak. May the Lord continue to be your comfort and strength during this time. My husband is bipolar, so I see the effects of serious depression in him. The Lord certainly is a Good Shepherd. It's another lesson in being gentle with each other because we never know what burdens some one might bear. Thank you so much for opening your heart and sharing with us.
